All of time and space and somehow it all looks exactly the same: like Hollywood 2024

Since the BBC is government owned, ratings do not mean crap, just like Disney productions.

except disney is now co-funding each season to the tune of $100MM for exclusive streaming rights on Disney+.

and yes. ratings do matter to the BBC as well. it is why many shows do not get new series.

I didn't get any gay vibes from the trailer. Am I missing something? I don't know any of the actors either.

I've had a few bourbons tonight so forgive me if I missed something obvious

The actor is gay and this doctor will intentionally be gay as well. Prior iterations have winked that he may occasionally go gay, but they will be explicit with that as part of this iteration's character.

the last doctor was female, and even with her they winked that she was in a relationship with her primary female companion.

it is what it is.

all that aside, i am more amused by the absolute deemphasis of white males in the trailer; not which monster or man he wants to stick his sonic screwdriver into.

The new doctor is flaming

They also had a character at the beginning of the first episode that was a dude pretending to be a chick. He had the most prominent Adam's Apple I've seen in a long time. Almost feels intentional to make sure you know without a doubt he's trans

That looks dumb as **** . Why can't Hollywood come up with good, original content?

Dr. Who wasn't something the world was clamoring for, black/gay or not.

You are just pissed they have not done El Doctor Misterio yet (that's the tile for the character south of the border)

You are not correct about that.

Dr. Who has a dedicated audience that has watched the series for decades. The decision to cast a woman just for social justice points turned a lot of fans away.

A traditional Doctor without all of the "make a statement" casting would bring them back.

Ever since Capaldi's third season as the Doctor, the show has been nothing but woke bull*****

It's lonely at the top…

Well hold on. This isn't without precedent. There was the black version of Wizard of Oz starring Michael Jackson in the 70s.

It should be possible to cast a Doctor as any race, or either gender, without pushing a woke agenda. It SHOULD be, but apparently is not. The Doctor could even be a little green man; he is a space alien, after all.

My complaint about the trailer is it does not match the tone of previous Doctor Who episodes; too slick.

Segregation is back baby and of course the Democrats are leading the way!

That looks terrible, needs more…

Eh I think 5 years ago you would've been right in this statement. But after their recent horrible stretch I have literally zero interest in ever watching the show again. And I'm willing to bet that's the case with a majority of former viewers/fans.

Take this to the Entertainment board, and I figure the odds that someone there will claim that what we see with our own eyes in these trailers is not in fact happening will be 100%.

Bring back Billie Piper.

Because black people love dr who. Why don't they do this to fast and furious?

If I want to see black people, I'll watch sports.

It's just bad writing.

Bad writing due to bad writers that were picked because they are queers/women or whatever instead of for being good at their job -- writing screenplays.

The brain trust on the Entertainment board agree about the first part of the sentence, but vehemently deny the last part.

The people that make these things snicker behind closed doors about how they are going to totally own straight white malez, steal their beloved IP, and make it gay/trans/queer whatever the hell.

And then when it bombs, they blame all of the -isms and "phobias".

PlutoTV has a 24hr "Dr Who channel". I see the ads on other channels when streaming. Even the old show looks dumb as hell with background quality making the original Star Trek background look futuristic as **** .

I've been watching the DIS board election with interest.

Nelson Peltz has won some endorsements -- most notably, Institutional Shareholder Services -- but Disney has kept its allies in line.

As a shareholder, I would love to see Peltz get on the board and shake things up. Disney has had a rubber-stamp board for decades while grossly underperforming. The whole company needs an overhaul.

Black and gay might even be better than the previous Dr Who.

Dr Who was originally rather low budget. Also, it predated Star Trek by several years and was originally in black and white.

The first Dr Who episode was originally broadcast beginning the weekend immediately after President Kennedy was assassinated.

I feel like my testosterone drops 100 points if I click on any thread over there with the usual suspects.
